Nov 11th

It's 10;00 pm - we just got back from Beijing. We had to wait for 2 hrs. to get a train home. It was busy. We left at 8:00 this morning, got to the hospital about 10:30. they did an x-ray then an ultra sound. no kidney stones showed up.
They let us go for a few hours. We had lunch - pizza (Yum!) and ceasar salad for $8.00 US. Then we went shopping. It was productive, but Dad gets really carried away! Then back to the hospital so that they could take us to another hospital 1/2 hr. away to get blasted. That Dr. did an ultra sound and couldn't find a kidney stone, so he ordered a CAT scan. Oh, there it is! But it's in the urether, where they can't blast it! Before it had been in the urether and then the next time it was in the kidney and now it's moved back down! So back to the first hospital to consult with the urologist. He wants to do a scope and blast the stone from the inside (ouch) , but he doesn't do that another Dr. does and he is only at the hosp. on Wed. and Sat. Can we stay overnight and consult with him No! We're not going to spend money on a hotel to talk to him for 10 min. We told him to have the Dr. look at the CAT scan and call us! Then we went shopping again, got a few more bargins and headed home.
What a day! I did get a nice sweatshirt for $9.00 US. I need something to wear around the house that I can just relax in and stay warm.And of course, Dad bought more things for the boys. If Lori & Kari come to China they'll each have to bring an empty suitcase here!
So Sat. we can rest and clean house. Yipe-e-e-e
Love you all ! Mom XXOO
